For Coughs due to colds, the best remedy that money could buy can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-act-ing medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 2Vj ounces of Pincx. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It’s no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, arc promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway Pine, containing the (Jfctire agent, of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of aevere coughs and bronchial irritations. Po not aacept a substitute for Pinex. It ts guaranteed to give prompt relief .money refunded. —Advertisement.
